Another objeet oi my invention is to provide the lot-k with a plate adapted to tit over the teeth anti protet't the same while earrying it, in the pocketv With these objects lll view the invention ttonsists in the novel features oi construction t-ombination and arrangement of parts, hereinal'ter lully deseribed and pointed out, in the ('lzlllllS.

The plate l is shorter than the plate I) and has its end bent outwardly to form a t-nrved bearing ineinher l5, adapted to be swung around against the door ll and seeurely look the door. A lug E projects outwardly from the upper edge oi the plate E so that it can be readily pulled out of engagement with the door when desired 'lhe plates U and l) are also shorter than the plate ll and are provided with enrved ends so that. either one or both-ol' them (an be readily swung around between the jainb and door when the t-rat-k is large between the door and janib, so as to hold the leeth oi the plate 1%. into the janib.
